# Node Driver Registrar
The node-driver-registrar is a sidecar container that registers the CSI driver
with Kubelet using the
[kubelet plugin registration mechanism](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/#device-plugin-registration).

A sidecar container that
This is necessary because Kubelet is responsible for issuing CSI `NodeGetInfo`,
`NodeStageVolume`, `NodePublishVolume` calls. The `node-driver-registrar` registers
your CSI driver with Kubelet so that it knows which Unix domain socket to issue
the CSI calls on.

## Compatibility
Latest stable release | Branch| Compatible with CSI Version | Container Image | Min K8s Version | Max K8s Version

For release-0.4 and below, please refer to the [node-registrar
repository](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/driver-registrar).

## Usage
There are two UNIX domain sockets used by the node-driver-registrar:

* Registration socket:
* Registers the driver with kubelet.
* Created by the `node-driver-registrar`.
* Exposed on a Kubernetes node via hostpath in the Kubelet plugin registry.
(typically `/var/lib/kubelet/plugins_registry/<drivername.example.com>-reg.sock`).

* CSI driver socket:
* Used by kubelet to interact with the CSI driver.
* Created by the CSI driver.
* Exposed on a Kubernetes node via hostpath somewhere other than the Kubelet.
plugin registry (typically `/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/<drivername.example.com>/csi.sock`).
* This is the socket referenced by the `--csi-address` and `--kubelet-registration-path` arguments.

### Required arguments

* `--csi-address`: This is the path to the CSI driver socket (defined above) inside the
pod that the `node-driver-registrar` container will use to issue CSI
operations (e.g. `/csi/csi.sock`).
* `--kubelet-registration-path`: This is the path to the CSI driver socket on
the host node that kubelet will use to issue CSI operations (e.g.
`/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/<drivername.example.com>/csi.sock). Note this is NOT
the path to the registration socket.

### Required permissions
The node-driver-registrar does not interact with the Kubernetes API, so no RBAC
rules are needed.

It does, however, need to be able to mount hostPath volumes and have the file
permissions to:
* Access the CSI driver socket (typically in `/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/<drivername.example.com>/`).
* Used by the `node-driver-registrar` to fetch the driver name from the driver
contain (via the CSI `GetPluginInfo()` call).
* Access the registration socket (typically in `/var/lib/kubelet/plugins_registry/`).
* Used by the `node-driver-registrar` to register the driver with kubelet.

### Example
Here is an example sidecar spec in the driver DaemonSet. `<drivername.example.com>` should be replaced by
the actual driver's name.
```
containers:
- name: csi-driver-registrar
image: quay.io/k8scsi/csi-node-driver-registrar:v1.0.2
args:
- "--csi-address=/csi/csi.sock"
- "--kubelet-registration-path=/var/lib/kubelet/plugins/<drivername.example.com>/csi.sock"
lifecycle:
preStop:
exec:
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "rm -rf /registration/<plugin> /registration/<drivername.example.com>-reg.sock"]
volumeMounts:
- name: plugin-dir
mountPath: /csi
- name: registration-dir
mountPath: /registration
volumes:
- name: registration-dir
hostPath:
path: /var/lib/kubelet/plugins_registry/
type: Directory
- name: plugin-dir
hostPath:
path: /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/<drivername.example.com>/
type: DirectoryOrCreate
```

1. Registers the containerized CSI driver with kubelet (in the future).
